THE WEEK AHEAD
Time to Fall Back!
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4,
2:00 a.m.
Remember to turn your clocks back one hour before you go to bed Saturday night. An extra hour of sleep--woo hoo!
Family Mass
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4,
10:30 a.m.
All school and Religious Ed. families are encouraged to attend Mass every week, but once per month we are asked to plan for all of us to go to 10:30 a.m. Mass together. Hope to see everyone there!
Shortened Day
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6,
1:30 p.m.
This is our monthly SIP Day. Teachers will remain for Professional Development.
Bilingual VIRTUS Training
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 7-10:00 p.m.
Don't forget, all parents, guardians, and other adults over 18 years old who are interested in helping with children ages 18 and under are required to undergo a VIRTUS training session before being allowed to volunteer in any capacity with children present. Register online by visiting the VIRTUS Online site and clicking on Start Registration. We will run English and Spanish sessions simultaneously. English will meet in the School Hall, and Spanish will gather in the School Library. Both should enter through Door P1.
Upcoming High School Open Houses
SAS encourages its school families to consider continuing their children's Catholic education into high school. Although all junior high students are invited to attend open houses and shadow days, It is especially important for current eighth grade students to participate in these planning activities, as they will be taking their high school entrance exams on December 1. Here's a quick rundown of some of the local high schools' offerings:
Sunday, November 4 (11:00 am - 1:00 pm)
Wednesday, November 28 (7:00 pm)
Marian Catholic High School
Sunday, November 18 (1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)

Our Next Supper Club Destination--Chipotle, Munster
This one is a biggie--Chipotle returns 33% to us! Watch for your voucher in an upcoming Thursday envelope, the church bulletin, and Facebook, and it may also be printed from our website. Our Buona Supper Club in October raised $118.50. Let's try to top that at Chipotle!
Saturday, November 17, 7:00 p.m. at Benny's Place
Win an Ice Cream Party!
Our next Box Tops for Education challenge is underway, and this time it's all about the teamwork! This time, we are looking for the class that has THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF PARTICIPATION--that means if EVERYONE in one class sends something in, they will have 100% participation. The class with the highest percentage handing in Box Tops by Friday, November 16 will win an Ice Cream Social to take place on Tuesday, November 20, right before Thanksgiving Break. Start clipping, and ask your friends and relatives to save Box Tops for you, too! The newest collection sheet is available on our website. You can even send them in in a baggie--simply write the count and your child's name and grade on the outside of the bag.
